Pizza. A typical Italian (American?) food.

I personally think I am fairly well-educated when it comes to that specific food group

(yes, I just called pizza a food group).

I like to think that I have experienced the full spectrum --

• from the streets in New York,
• to traveling through Italy and sampling pizzas in Rome Florence Pisa and Venice,
• to my roommate last year regularly eating an entire Little Caesars hot-n-ready by herself (shout-out to you Brookie),

I am well versed when it comes to pizza-ing.

My personal favs that are accessible in Utah include: Pizzeria 712,

Malawi's (its for a good cause!), CPK, and even The Brick Oven.

However in a search to find lunch during a one-hour break between molecular biology lectures, I discovered the wonders of SLAB pizza! A definite new favorite!

It's right by campus and Coldplay was playing when I walked in (always a plus).

If you've never been to a Utah Grizzlies game... (that's minor league hockey fyi) then you have NO IDEA what you're missing out on!

The crowd was classic... I don't know where these people reside when they aren't watching hockey... and I think 70% of Utah's alcohol was being consumed at this game...

But have no fear! I compiled a list that will help you fit RIGHT IN if you have the desire to attend a game... drum roll please.

The requirements include:

• a $6 cotton candy and $6 slurpy purchase...

• Don't forget your jersey!

• or your popcorn bucket hat...

• a huge can of beer is a must

• and so is a purple-velour sweatsuit

• modest clothes? optional.

• ..... no comment......

The avid grizzlies fans included:

me and jean

my brother and his g-friend

my cousin Will and his "friend" McCall

my cousin's friend and his girlfriend? I don't remember their names....

WE LOVE HOCKEY

Last week I had a two hour break between classes.

So I came home to my apartment, started the dishwasher, and decided to take a nap.

Two hours later this is what I woke up to...

Hahahaha I was running late so I just sent a picture of our flooded kitchen to my roommate and went to class.

Note to self:

Don't put liquid dish soap in the dishwasher...

Let this JAPANESE guy teach you how to achieve that short spiky hairstyle in under a minute. It's like AWESOME!

Perfect for the emo/bad boy/Yakuza!!! look.

This emo boy has the most awesome hair. Agree?

Trying to decide what to do for Valentines day is always a bit of a struggle.

After reading Facebook statuses I came to the conclusion that the usual go-to options are:

• watch "The Notebook" with your girlfriends...
• stuff your face with chocolate...
• or pretend like its not Valentines day at all.

None of those options sounded too appealing, so we planned a huge group date!

(and when I say "we" I really just mean Jean Paul).

Nine couples came over and we made pizzas (with heart-shaped pizza dough, of course), played valentines games, and ended the night with pazookies and ice cream!

I think this is the start of a tradition.

aww.. look how domestic he is!

They each made a "special" piece for each other that they HAD to eat...

obviously they both really liked what was on them!

A slightly bouffant emo hair with side bangs that go across the forhead and are always parted to one side giving you a trendy yet elegant emo look. Popular colors for highlights currently tend to be blue, red and purple.

I would like to introduce you to my lovely friend Olivia:

We were on study abroad together in London and she was engaged the whole time!

So throughout the four months there was lots of wedding planning, lingerie-purchasing, and she even had her engagements taken in London when her fiance Justin flew out to visit!

I just about died with jealousy, look how beautiful they are!

Her wedding was just last week and it was so lovely that I felt the need to document almost the whole thing!

(Don't worry, I only posted a few of the pictures haha)

This was the 16th wedding Jean and I have attended together... not a joke.

But it's great because we LOVE weddings!

It was so fun seeing all my London friends!!

aww.. SO happy for you Livi!

Look at her gorgeous dress!
